RALEIGH | A Lexington man pleaded guilty June 27 in Wake County District Court to charges filed by the North Carolina Department of Revenue.

David R. Mischick, 65, of 144 Blue Water Point, pleaded guilty to willful failure to file return, supply information or pay tax, according to a press release from the N.C. Department of Revenue.

District Court Judge Debra A. Sasser sentenced Mischick to a 10-day maximum prison term. The sentence was suspended, and Mischick was placed on unsupervised probation for 12 months. He was also ordered to file all of his future income tax returns in a timely and accurate fashion and pay a $100 fine.

An investigation by a special agent with the North Carolina Department of Revenue found that Mischick was required to file North Carolina Individual Income Tax Returns for tax years 2009, 2010 and 2011 but willfully failed to do so. Between 2007 and 2010 Mischick was a state employee.

The charges against Mischick resulted from an investigation by a special agent with the Department's Criminal Investigations Section in Raleigh.
